Meantime, Minister of Mental Health and Addiction, Dan Williams, issued the following statement on World Mental Health Day:

“The mental health and well-being of Albertans is a top priority for our government. We cannot overlook the importance of prevention as mental illness affects people of all ages, backgrounds and circumstances. We are supporting open conversation and providing resources to ensure every Albertan can get the help they need.

“There are many steps a person can take to support their mental wellness, whether it be spending time outdoors, reducing screen time, prayer or connecting with family and friends. Every step matters and together they can make a big difference.

“If you’re struggling, please know that help is available. Counselling Alberta offers affordable virtual counselling services for Albertans of any age. Additionally, you can call or text 211 any time of the day to connect with programs and services in your community.

“Every Albertan struggling with mental illness or mental health challenges deserves the opportunity to recover. That is why we are continuing to make investments to increase supports and services across the province, especially for younger Albertans.

“On World Mental Health Day, take time to consider how you can improve your mental health and ways you can support those closest to you.”
